Why trust Greenbot
The long term effect of Britain leaving the EU remain unknown for now, but one immediate effect that the move is likely going to have is an increase in the price of the OnePlus 3. OnePlus have warned potential customers in the United Kingdom that the way the British Pound is losing its value, it might not possible for the company to keep its current pricing structure in the region.
OnePlus already operates on a razor thin margin and cannot afford it to lose whatever profit it manages to eek out due to the GBP losing its value.
The company is not announcing a price increase right away, but is instead warning its customers about a potential increase in price in the UK sometime in the near future. Thus, the company recommends that if you are interested in buying a OnePlus 3, you should do it sooner than later. It also promises to provide its consumers with updates about the price increase down the line and that it will not be an out of the blue change. The OnePlus 3 currently retails for £309 in the United Kingdom with free shipping.
The OnePlus 3 is easily the best smartphone available in the market around the $400 range, and considering that the whole wow factor of the phone revolves around its price, it does make sense for the company to warn potential customers about an upcoming price increase.
